a large part of lifc's burdens are self
imposed and wholly needless. Fears of
calamltics which never happen, n dolcful
habit OF looking at the worst, n sus-
picious disposition, n jealous turn Of
mind these are the tyrants that load us
with burdens heavy to bear and needless
to carry. ii we should honestly examine
the various burdens of our lives, we
would be surprised to find how many OF
them arc OF this character. Not only
may We drop them if we will, but Justice
to others demands that we should. A
man or woman habitually unhappy is
essentially selfish, and is always a thorn
in the community. There arc enough
crosses and trials in life which must be
borne, without manufacturing artificial
and needless ones; and the more thor
oughly we rid ourselves of the latter, tie
more energy and spirit we can bring to
bear upon the former.

Lee made his recent visit to Minnesota
as part of a plan to give him the second

mated, of course, in II Chicago paper.
There is not the slightest basis for the
imputation. General Lee is not the

it is difficult to sec how Il flying trip, on
any other trip, to st. Paul or anywhere
else, could promote such an object.
